The biggest single project at Clackamas Town Center right now is the remake of the former Nordstrom building, roughly 120,000 square feet that has sat empty since 2020. The space is being subdivided into four tenants, and the first of them, a Sky Zone trampoline park, is already under construction with a fall opening targeted. Here is where each piece of the remake stands, plus what has quietly opened on the Sears side of the mall.
One big box, four new tenants
The former Nordstrom building, vacant for about six years, is being carved into four separate uses rather than waiting for a single department store to fill it. That strategy is what makes the project worth watching: instead of one anchor that could sit empty for another half decade, the mall gets a trampoline park, an indoor playground, a climbing gym, and a government office, each with its own timeline and its own draw.
Sky Zone: the anchor of the remake
Sky Zone is taking the entire lower level of the old Nordstrom, roughly 54,000 square feet, and construction is underway with a fall 2026 opening targeted. For Happy Valley families, that is the headline: a large-format trampoline park attached to the same mall as the 20-screen Cinemark and Dave & Buster's, which together make the Town Center one of the strongest entertainment-anchored retail destinations in the metro.
Kids Empire, Movement, and the DMV
Behind Sky Zone, the remaining tenants fill out the upper floors. Kids Empire, an indoor children's playground, is slated to open across 2026 into 2027, and Movement, the rock-climbing gym chain, is set to follow in 2027. The fourth tenant is an Oregon DMV office, which brings a practical errand into the same building as the entertainment. The mix is deliberate: parents can drop into the DMV, then hand the kids to the playground or the climbing wall without leaving the property.
Meanwhile, on the Sears side
The old Sears space has been filling in faster. Wingstop is now open next to Dick's Sporting Goods, and Gap Factory has opened in the former Party City location. The mall's official directory also lists D&D Luxe Jewelers as coming soon. Between the Sears side and the Nordstrom remake, the mall has effectively replaced two decades-old department store vacancies with a mix of dining, discount retail, and family entertainment. Our retail update from earlier this month and the fall opening wave post track the full sequence of what has landed when.
What it means for the valley
For anyone weighing a move to Happy Valley, the Town Center's turnaround is a practical amenity story: the area's biggest retail destination is reinvesting in family-scale entertainment rather than shrinking. It also matters for resale. Proximity to a thriving mall with indoor recreation is a quiet selling point for buyers with kids, and it is one of the reasons the valley holds its value in slower markets. The team keeps the community calendar updated with local events if you want to pair a mall trip with something on the city's schedule.
The takeaway
Clackamas Town Center's Nordstrom remake is on track and visible: Sky Zone's construction is underway with a fall target, Kids Empire and Movement follow into 2027, and the DMV office rounds out the four-tenant plan. Add the already-open Wingstop and Gap Factory on the Sears side, and the mall is quietly becoming the valley's indoor activity hub. The confirmed dates will keep shifting as construction finishes, so check the mall's directory before you plan a visit.
